“Hands down, I learn so much more with HECA tours. Part of it is because we get quality time that I wouldn’t get on my own, like with student panels, for example. I also benefit greatly from hearing my colleagues ask great questions while on campus as well as sharing their own insights and experiences throughout the tour.”
“Book and web research only tell you so much. Once you go on the campus you can see the students, the professors, the energy. Sometimes these visits lead me to see universities in a whole new light.”
“HECA College Tours push me to expand my knowledge and learn about hidden gems, which I may not otherwise visit. Casting a wider net to build my college knowledge better arms me to do the same for my students.”
“Seeing colleges in person gives me a fuller and more personal perspective on what a school is really like and whether it could be a good fit for my students.”
“Campus visits are a critical part of what I do to work with families. Visiting between 30 and 40 campuses every year enables me to learn about their admission processes, academic programs, and student-life opportunities, not to mention the nuances that help me determine which ones are likely to be the best matches for my students.”
“I appreciate all the planning that goes into organizing a college tour. HECA makes it easy to sign up, reserve hotel rooms (at discounted rates), and arrive to find colleges welcoming us with open arms.”
